How to find out your tablet model

It is very important to know the model of your tablet computer if you are purchasing it on the market. It’s just that some sellers may pass off a Chinese-made tablet as an original product. In order to protect yourself from scammers, you need to know how to do this. Of course, this only applies to devices based on Android OS, since there is not a single Chinese gadget running iOS OS.

How can you find out your tablet model: methods

There are several main ways to find out the name of a tablet computer:

1. View directly on your device. Naturally, this is quite logical. But anyway. Most gadgets do not indicate the model name, but only the manufacturer or model series. For example, on Nexus7 it is indicated: Asus and Nexus. In some cases, this information is enough to accurately find out the model of the device, since the manufacturer’s model line of specific devices is often small.
2. Look at the packaging. Also an obvious way. The package may contain the full name of the model on a sticker with barcodes or other information.
3. In the device settings. The procedure itself is very simple, but only when the gadget in your hands is turned on and can be used. On the screen, find the “Settings” menu. If it is not on the desktop, then you need to go to applications - it should definitely be here. When you go to settings, a section with many items will appear.You need to find the “About tablet” item. The device model will appear in a new window, but sometimes without the name of the manufacturer, but by the model you can easily determine the manufacturer using the Internet.
4. Using third party programs. One option is to install the System Info for Android program; this application will tell you everything about the gadget, from battery charging to the model name. But the device must be turned on in order to be able to download the program.
5. If you have identified the manufacturer, you can go to the manufacturer’s website and try to find the device. Most likely he is here. This way you can find out the full name.

Reference! Finally, if you have a non-working device, you can take a photo of the device and start a topic on the appropriate forum where users can help identify the model. Or they will tell you where to look.
